Access Point Number | Access Point Title |
SC.6.N.3.In.1 | Identify that a scientific theory is an explanation of nature supported by evidence. |
SC.6.N.3.Su.1 | Recognize that a scientific theory is an explanation of nature. |

Laws and Theories in Nature | This lesson will begin with a presentation to discuss the major differences between hypotheses, theories and laws in science and society and identify several examples of laws and theories. The students will then go outside and make/write down/photograph examples of nature supporting these laws/theories. |
Investigate Cell Theory | This lesson allows students to investigate the Cell Theory. |
Using Evidence to Support the Theory of Plate Tectonics | In this lesson, students will analyze an informational text, a simulation and a video intended to support reading in the content area. The article addresses the use of computer models to predict that the Earth's tectonic plates will cease to move in the future. The evidence provided by these resources will be used to write an argument supporting the theory of plate tectonics. This lesson includes a note-taking guide, text-dependent questions, a writing prompt, answer keys, and a writing rubric. |

Earth's Tectonic Plates Won't Slide Forever | This text is intended to support reading in the content area. The text describes future possible outcomes for the tectonic plates and the movement of the Earth’s crust. Using computer models, the article first discusses when crustal plate movement is thought to have begun. Then, it provides the reader with an account of some of the ways the Earth has changed due to the movement of plate tectonics. It then continues to use computer models to produce a simulation to show that these plate movements may stop millions of years from now. |
